How I Survive That First 10 Minutes at Parties

Last weekend, I walked into a party and instantly felt like everyone could see how nervous I was. That first ten minutes? Always the hardest for me. Here’s what’s been working for me lately: • I give myself a quick pep talk—something as simple as, “Hey, your shoes look awesome today!” • I lean into my quirks, like my weird laugh or random facts I know. It actually helps me relax. • Moving around helps, even if it’s just swaying to the music or stepping outside for a breath of fresh air. • I remind myself I’m not there to impress anyone—just to enjoy myself, however that looks. What’s your go-to move when you’re feeling awkward in a crowd? I’d love to hear what works for you! #SelfLove #ConfidenceBoost #BeYourself #Health #MentalHealth
